The Hunt is *usually* a summer show. One relative of an actor said on Twitter their episode will air "in the winter" which would mean March 21st at the latest but I also stressed when I mentioned that in the other thread that no one should get their hopes up and assume that will be the case.

I believe CNN actually planned season 2 for April two years ago but had to keep delaying it because of breaking news coverage. So who knows. Be cautiously optimistic it might start earlier, but based on averages we really shouldn't expect a return until June or July.

It seems like a credible source and with the election over, it's the perfect storm. Plus if they are planning to air it in the spring, my guess is that either Terry Strickland (if caught) or Marlon Jones will be replaced by Bhadreshkumar Patel, as he seems like the only recent-yet long running fugitive I would feel comfortable on the list.

So it's means Season 4 of the hunt with John Walsh to be aired around spring of 2017

No confirmation yet, but this is from one of the relatives of an actor on season 4. Hopefully there isn't big breaking news going on this year, now with election year over. Plus to add on, my guess for CNN pushing season 2 till the summer, was because they were getting ready to cover the early stages of the election.

No danwind, it means we don't know when it will be aired. I am just going to assume the summer again to not get my hopes up, and if it is aired earlier I will be pleasantly surprised.

Oh, and there were no indications that The Hunt planned to air either Marlon Jones or Terry Strickland. Not all new additions make the show. The Hunt didn't do Jean Janvier last year even though he was a new addition to the USMS Top 15 list and was added before the show.

I'm not saying this to talk crap but there's another Hunt fan board ran by a great guy who erroneously claimed The Hunt only airs FBI Top 10 cases and John Walsh has no say. While it is "top list" influenced, many of the cases also make the show due to staff and producer research of what they feel would be good cases for the show. Herbert Maldonado was also a rare victim request case. I'm only mentioning this to set the record straight and I appreciate anyone who tries to get the show more views.

What I meant by adding Patel, is that hypothetically either before or after the airing the FBI may decide to add him, replacing either Strickland or Jones if the show was to air in the spring, if FBI hasn't yet replaced A.D. or Jones by then.

However many of the cases on The Hunt so far are either Notorious AMW cases, some of John Walsh's dirty dozens, cases that are awful and have yet to be aired on a crime show and other cases that have occurred in recent years that really need the publicity like Palmer, Butch Knight, Jennifer Puente.

Saw an ad for "Finding Jesus" season 2 starting Sunday, March 9th on CNN so looks like the Hunt is once again a summer show as that show would run through the rest of the winter, and then Anthony Bourdain's show usually airs around April/May in that same time slot.

No offense guys, but I am a bit amused that I went out of my way to tell everyone not to get their hopes up over one person's Twitter comment yet somehow everyone ran with it and turned into everyone going "The Hunt's coming back in the winter!" anyway. LOL.

In the meantime, can we at least get ONE fugitive from season 3 captured already? Just ONE? Damnit. LOL.

While we're on the topic, Parts Unknown starts April 30th Sundays at 9 PM on CNN. I believe this means June 25th is the earliest possible start date for The Hunt as PU (it's a great show that I watch also, just those are the initials ), is usually 8 weeks a season which would put P.U.'s season finale as June 18th.

The Hunt usually starts in July and I think the only reason they started so early last year was because of all the Presidential debates in the summer and the election season in general.

We thankfully don't have the election to worry about anymore. An unpredictable administration whether you like them or not when it comes to potential for breaking news messing with the season (life is like a box of chocolates!), but at least nothing officially on the books this summer to interfere.

Another suggestion. As with what happened last year, when we get closer to the premiere date for this season, check the Tip Form in case they add the fugitives names to the form before the season starts.
